      Bbotheb DEHOcailS , —I almost expected there had been enough of anonymous letters in tbe one signed * ' An Old Chartist" In last Saturday's Slar ,. % few questions are asked by a * person signing himself " A Member of the National Charter Association . " In reply I btTe to inform him . that the Executive will soon meet . Four out of ~ the fire at all events can assemble in a very few hours . He asks , "Will the London men present the memorials ? ' I hare co iesitotaon in saying they / will , and that the Execute will bepresent Bat I hope the " Member of the Nation *! Charter Association" will urge upon the

      country the necessity of sending memorials up to present , not to place as in the ridiculous light that the Hon . T . Itojcombe was in with the Remonstrance , viz . to hsre exactly fourteen sent from fourteen different places , instead of hiving 700 , as he ought to have had . Moreover , if the London men are to make a display on the occasion , it is too bad to expect that the London men should be at the loss- of a couple of days' work , and hear all the expenses of the procession . The Executive recommended each locality to send 5 s . to defray such expence . Has that been dene ? The Metropolitan Delegates made a similar request , but I am not aware that it has been complied with in fire cases .

      I have generally the most awkward and irksome part -of any agitator in our ranks , namely pointing to the deficiency of fundsj it is a task I do not like , still I must do it ; letter after letter comes in , asking why the Exe--cntive do not do this , that and the other . Can we perform miracles ? Can we do more than we have the means of doing ? Lecturers would have been sent into I > eTon , Cornwall , Herefordshire , Buckinghamshire , Hertfordshire , Cambridgeshire , Norfolk , Suffolk , Hants , : £ snt , Durham , Cumberland , Northumberland , Shropshire , and into the other counties of England and "Wales , to arouse the people from their apathy . Why it

      has not been done yon now know the reason ; 'tis useless to say more on the subject , and whilst I admit that the members of the National Charter Association who put the questions have done so in a fair and gentlemanly manner , yet I cannot help regretting that such questions are asked anonyzneusJy . If there is any individual in our ranks who is afraid to ask a question through the press with his name attached , let him write to me , and I will give him what information I can ; but anonymous letters , in my humble opinion , are certainly Tery unfair . I never wrote one , and I hope I seTer shall .

      Let me now torn your attention to other matters . I bare attended three or four meetings each week since I ¦ oarne to London . On Sunday 1 lectured to a crowded audience , in Marylebone . On Monday night I attended with a trade's deputation to wait on the leather finisher * , and I am proud to state , that through the exertions of Messrs . Ferguson , Knight , Walkindan , Rose , and myself , aided by the shrewd sense ef the leather finishers themselves , a m » jority of the trade present Toted to declare for the Charter and join the National Charter Association . In addition to this there has been two other localities opened this week in London . I am engaged next Sunday , Monday , and Tuesday amongst the tailors and shoemakers , and I expect some good may be done . Torquay , in Devonshire , Ramsg&te , Winchester , St . Albaus , and Richmond have jjined the asBsci&tion during the past week . Oat exertions must be increased .

      London is doing wonders . Fresh accesaiens every sight of meeting . Flinch we must not ; and mind , there is a way by which we can show our attachment to principle , and thus do more fer the establishment of the Charter than anything I know of . I mean by supporting the families of those who are in prison , or who may be imprisoned . Say that « very member of the Association paid one penny per we * k to a victim fund : allowing that there are six thousand members in the National Charter Association , each paying one p » nny weekly , it would just amount to £ 250 per week ; andmind there are hundreds , nay , thousands of those who » re not members , did they but see the members of our Association acting in sneb a manner , would assist us at once . I know there are many good men amongst us who will keep it out of their own bellies to assist their

      brethren in trouble , but there are others I am sorry to say , are niggardly indeed , and who do little towards forwarding the cause ; nor do I think it is fair to make appeals for individuals . All that are under the tender mercies of . the Tories should be taken care of . The Teteran Richards is as dear to me , m Mason , "White as Jonesj Cooper as Leach ; Yardley as Hutchinson ; Beesley as McDauall ; Duncan as Ellis ; all are alike to l > a remembered . Up then and be doing . The man who will not sacrifice a penny , twopence , threepence , or a sixpence a week , as his means will admit , is no Chartist . The individual who will not now assist his brethren in gaol with the needful , if he has the means , is a traitor to his country , a betrayer of justice , a libertiride , who is only fit for the brand of Con to be stamped on his forehead .

      Let the Chartists organise themselves into classes , for the purpose of raising funds instanter . Let there be no delay in so important a matter as the present Unless you see to the comforts of a man's family whilst he is in prison , can you expect he will advocate your cause again ? He may do it , but yon would then have to VhiTfr fr *™ and not yourselves . Hoping that we Bhall each and all of us do our duty to those good men and true patriots who may suffer in our behalf , I remain , Tour brother Democrat , John Campbexl . ISO , Holboro , Sept . 14 th , 1842 .

      P . S . Parties need not be over anxious as to scaling letters , as I have every reason to believe my letters are examined . I wish each sub-Secretary , who can , to send me the names of such parties as are arrested for being Chartists , in cr ^ er that I may classify them , and lay the same before the Executive . I a ? so hope , that for the future any person who sends a post-office order to me will make it payable at the Bloomsbury Post Office .

      CROTDEN . —At the usual weekly Chartist meeting , on Monday evening , it was resolved that the whole of the members present do form themselves into a committee to solicit from the inhabitants of Croyden subscriptions on behalf of the imprisoned and persecuted leaders .

Resolutions were adopted ascribing all the existing distre&s to class legislation and pledging the meeting to continuous exertion for its annihilation .

      CXREKCESIEB . —At the usual weekly meeting of Chartists on Monday , Mr . Wakefield in the chair , the following resolution was proposed by Mr . Beecham , seconded by Mr . Blowen , and carried unanimously . — " Thai we view with extreme pain the squabbles that . have so long disgraced the Chartist body , convinced , as we are , of the great detriment which the movement has thereby sustained ; but believing that tbe remedy is in the hands of tbe people themselves , we offer to them the following suggestions . Tbe immediate causes of the squabbles that have taken place , may be classed under three heads . 1 st . Personal and private animosities . 2 nd . Differences of opinion on matters of policy relating to the movement 3 rd . Alleged distrust of the good faith of particular leaders . With , the personal quarrels of individuals the people should have nothing to da Combatants , manr . ^ and verbal will soon tire of conflicts , when not stimulated by tbe applauses of

      partisans . When differences of opinion arise on questions of policy , they ought to be discussed with temper and moderation and without personality . Each individual Chartist has an equsl right to tbe expression of opinion and it is possible for two individuals to hold widely different opinions on questions of policy , and be equally true in their faith to the people's cause . When , unfortunately , suspicion of bad faith , or treason , fastens on & person , his case ought to be investigated by a competent tribunal , and , pending the verdict of that tribunal , the people ought to abstain as much as possible from comment or judgment on the matter . Resolutions condemnatory of individuals , passed by societies on exparte evidence , and without heariDg the accused in his defence , cannot be considered fair verdicts . A man ' s character is not less valuable than his life , nor ought that character to be destroyed on evidence less conclusive than would justify the forfeiture of life . "

      NOTTINGHAM . —Chartism here is assuming its former position notwithstanding effotts have been made by the authorities to put it down ; they have partially succeeded for the present in preventing out-door meetings being held ; but they cannot prevent us meeting in the chapel , and we sometimes do meet to transact business connected with the association . The cause is getting into a rery healthy state ; several numerous and influential bodies of Chartists have opened new localites—one at the Peacock Inn ; their members are chiefly middle class-men . They have sent , through Mr .

      Sweet , the General Secretary , for 160 cards of membership , and they have rendered us very essential service already . Another locality has been formed at the Nag ' s Head ; they have purchased forty-eight cards , likewise the Northern and Evening Stars are taken in at these places , and their members are Increasing very fast We have twenty-nine prisoners held to bail , to be tried at tbe sessions .

Scott , " That this meeting deeply regretting the recent and deplorable occurrences , which have alarmed the country , nevertheless views them a * the natural outbreak of a people driven to distraction by a long course of legislative misrule , which has tended alike to raise the price of food ami lessen the demand for labour . " 2 d . Moved by A . Haigh ,

      seconded by A . Easton , " That this meeting regards with alarm and justly reprehends the violence which has been resorted to for the suppresiou of public opinion as unconstitutional , destructive of British liberty , and tending to establish an oligarchical despotism . " 3 d . Moved by T . Davis , seconded by B , Taylor , " That this meeting is of opinion , the present fearful crisis appeals with momentous interest to every British subject , for an unity cf exertion , till class legislation shall be abolished , and individual liberty secured by the enactment of the People ' s Charter . " 4 th . Moved by W . Scott , seconded by J . A . Hogg , " As a pewerful auxiliary in effecting a satisfactory union , this meeting would suggest to the Council , the propriety of memorialising the Government that a relaxation of penal severity at the present juncture will ba best calculated to allay

      popular discontent and answer the ends of justice . And , secondly , of promoting a public subscription for providing legal assistance , as a demonstration of sympathy with the unfortunate and misguided victims of tbe disastrous collisions which have taken place . " 5 th . Moved by T . Scott , seconded by C . Haigh , " That this meeting would also suggest to the Council the urgent necessity of bringing the question of tbe right to assemble psbHcly and speedily to a legal issue , in order that tbe proposed National Conference may be held at as early a period as possible" 6 th . " That a copy of these resolutions be by the Chairman , transmitted to Joseph Sturge , to be by him laid before the Council at their meeting on Monday first , and that copies be sent to the Northern Star , True Scotchman , and Nonconfor mist , and the Editors be respectfully requested to insert them . " A vote of thanks to the Chairman was then

      given , and three hearty cheers for the Charter , and the meeting separated . SOUTH SHIELDS . —Mr . Rigby , from Chorley , was here to-day ( Sunday ) .

Wa hope others will do likewise . The Evening Star is take . i in here .

      GLASGOW . —Abrest of wm , Ellis , of Staf-FoRDSHiBE . —Treachery has done its worst in this instance . ConSding virtue has fallen a sacrifice to a love of gold ; but the wretch who has acted th « Jud&t will not leave the work as Ellis did—lamented both by master and men . El . is , to avoid the persecution raging against all those who had taken a leading part in the cause cf Chartism in Staffordshire , and who could by any means be connected with tbe strike there , came down here , and immediately found employment with Mr . Thompson , potter , E *» t Gallowgate . Here Ellis net with a number of countrymen , and amongst the rest a townsman of his r » n . To these men , every thing connected with the late turn-out in the Potteries was well known , as a number of them get the Staf '

      fordshire Menury regularly . I do not say that any of these men are the guilty parties ; but the following appears very suspicious . Some of these have been corresponding with parties in Stafford sines Ellis came here ; and one of them told , immediately on Ellis being arrested , that he had a letter two days previously , stating that a warrant was issued against Ellis , and that they were coming to Scotland after him ; yet not the slightest hint was conveyed to the unsugpectl g victim . I offer no comment upon this ; I state the fact , leaving it to your readers to draw their own inference . So perfect was the information , that when Richardson , of the Gorbal police , along with an English officer , came to the works on Thursday afternoon , the 8 : h irst , that they went to the very toot of the stair where Ellis was working , described the room where he wrought , and his dress to the very neckcloth , adding ,

      that only he and another man were in the roem where he was working . The foreman of bis department , along with the manager , viBited him in bis cell that evening , and a number ff bis fellow-woikmen attended at the Liverpool steamer on Friday , to see him go on board , but they were disappointed ; he did not leave Glasgow by her . Mr . Thompson , who is of decidedly liberal opinions , is highly incensed at , the tieachery towards Ellis ; and says , if the slightest shadow of proof can be obtained as to the scoundrel -who committed the foul deed , be will turn him out of the gate like a dog . I have no doubts but that the necessary proofs to place the guiity party , who is already well understood , beyond Uoubt , will soon be obtained ,- then the cold-hearted monster will receive th < j ultimate reward of all traitors —the virtuous execration of an intelligent and indignant people .

      The interim Committee of the Glasgow Charter Association met on Thursdey evening , the 8 th instant , when it was resolved to call a meeting of the Association on Monday evening , the 19 th current , in the Chartist Church , East Regent-btreet , for the purpose of appointing office-bearers , and to consider other important matters connected with tbe movements . BRADFORD . —Col . Thompson has kindly presented to the Chartist Election Committee a complete set of his works , recently publibfaed in six vois ., and another copy to their solicitor . The committee have added their , acceptable gift to tbe B . adford Onartist Library . Toe thirst * for political knowledge , despite the late " uutoward events , " continues unabated , and the district associations are reviving their iwpot taut avocations with redonbled zeal , prudence , and energy .

R . had spoke for abomt an hoar , a gentleman came up in a £ ig , the speaker paused to allow him to pass on , the gentleman requested him to go on , that he might hear what he had to-say . The speaker did so , in grand style , showing the amount of mkery and Want to which the working population of England were reduced ; but when the speaker came to prove tbat the whole was the result of class legislation , Vbe gentlemaneould not stand to bear the truth any longer , and started to swear like a trooper- A working man , who was seen to enter the crowd at same tian with t&e

      gentleman , fired a fowling piece in the air , leaving no doubt in our mind but he was appointed by tfce factions with whom we have to contend to do so , to enable the gentleman to declare the meeting-illegal . The Chair * man in very strong terms deprecated the conduct of the man with the gun ' ; the whole nesting disdaimed any connexion with him , and alt of them whom we interoxated on the subject did not know him . The resolution was then put to the meeting-, and carried unanimously ;— " That it is the opinion- of this meeting that the whole of the evils which infest ? tbe industrious classes of these realms are the result of class legislation , and do therefore pledge itself to agitate for nothing short of the People ' s Charter , in name and substance , as the only means of ameliorating the present distress " This was one of the most peaceable meetings we ever witnessed , with the exception of this gentleman (?) in the gig , and the man he brought with him . to fire the piece . .

      Messrs . GaHMage and Rigby addressed the Chartists in their Hall on Monday evening with considerable effect . DERBY . —Chartism never wore a more-cheerful aspect in Darby than at tho present time , both amongst the middle and tho working class . The Complete Suffrage Union is making rapid strides amongst the middle class . I may as well mention that the best of ' eeling exists between tbe members of tbe National Charter Association and the Complete Suffrage Union of this town . The National Charter Association is progressing well . They have opened their room in Willowrow to the public as a reading room , free of admission , from six to ten every night in the week . The Evening Star and other papers are taken in . It is particularly requested that the members of tbe Association will bring as many of tbeir friends as possible . —The stopping

      of Mr . Vincent ' s lecture by the Magistrates has caused a deal of excitement in the town amongst all parties of Reformers . An address signed by 600 of the Electors , was presented to the Magistrates , protesting against the power of stopping the legal meetings of the people , and declaring in bold language their intention of resisting such unconstitutional suppression of free discussion . The address was presented by sixty influential gentlemen of the town . Thus has that conspiracy between the Tories and Sir James Graham to crush the meetings ef the people been broken through in Derby , the magistrates being ashamed of their job . Derby hoa set an example which it would be well for other towns to follow . —Aotive steps will bo taken to raise money for the defence fund . A special meeting of members will take place on Sunday ( tomorrow ) , at sevan o ' clock , on business of importance , •—Correspondent ,

      OIiDHAM . —At tbe weekly meeting en Monday evening lost , the Chartists of this town unanimously passed the following resolution : — "That a public meeting be held in the Cartist Koom , Greave's-street , on Saturday , September tbe 17 th , for the purpose of aiding and defending the political prisoners , those on bail , and those that may hereafter be apprehended , who may have to take their trial at the forthcoming assizes at Kirkdafe and Lancaster . All persons attending the above meeting are requested to pay one halfpenny or more , as circumstances will permit . The Evening and Northern Stars will be read on the occasion . To commence ^ t seven o ' clock in the evening , and close at ten . " Monkwearmouth . —On Snnday evening the uaual meeting was held hero . Mr . James Taylor lectured .

      VOB 3 S . —At a meeting of the York Chartists the following resolution was moved by Mr . £ . Burley , and seconded by Mr . Cooper , that we , the Chartists of York , do and have long vie wad , with deep regret , the differences which exist between certain of our leaders , and tegtet that such differences should have the effect of causing division in tbe Chartist ranks , and tbat we blame much the Chartists of various localities in allowing such differences to cause such ill-feeling amongst them , united as we are , or ought to be , for one common object—the freedom of our country ; and further , we call upon the Chartists of Great Britain to bury all party feeling , and unite as one man , determined to stand by principle alone , and allow men to settle their own private differences , being convinced that nothing will do our cause more harm than disunion , or give greater pleasure to our enemies , whose only strength exists therein . "

      BIRMINGHAM . —On Sunday evening last , at the Aston-street rooms , Mr . John Fussell delivered a very able and instructive leoture on the past , present , and future prospects of the Chartists , which was listened to with marked attention . At the conclusion , a vote of thanks was unanimously given to the lecturer . During the evening , a letter was read from Mr . George White , in which he expressed his determination , when at liberty , to battle with the enemy as vigorously as ever . The Committee for the defence of Mr . George White , meet regularly on Sundays , Tuesdays , and Fridays . About forty collecting books have been issued , circulars have been sent to tbe principal towns in the districts and to the trades in

      Birmingham , also a deputation have been named to wait upon the latter bodies , appealing to them as working men and not as political paTtizana . On Friday last the following names were tendered to the magistrates as bail : —For the county , F . O'Connor , Esq ., and Mr . Watts , Snow-hill ; for the borough , Mr . Oliver and Mr . Taylor . On Monday they were refused , not being considered by the worslripfuls as eligible . Two more have since been offeied , to meet the same fate . The committed hare determined to apply to the judges , there being no doubt of tho competency of the parties they have tendered , and that malice or prejudice alone have operated in their rejection . Great difficulty has been

      experienced in sending and receiving letters from our friend , all communications having any reference'to meetings or other business not immediately connected with his own case being detained . Mr . White , in writing to a friend says , " I have received a long and satisfactory letter from that patriotic man , T . S . Buncombe , Esq ., M . P ., in which is contained some valuable information . He offers to present a memorial to Sir J . Graham , in case J see any necessity for it . Mr . Duncombe thinks they have no business to inspect my letters before trial , and he says th ^ i refusing bail on account of politics is illegal . " The committee intend waiting on tho influential Liberals of tho town next week , calling upon them to support our friend .

      JSTEELHousE-tANE . —The Chartists of this locality held their usual meeting on Tuesday evening , Mr . Taylor , printer , in the chair . Amongst the parties present we were much gratified to observe our old and triediriend , Mr . Eames . The question of Mr . George White ' s defence was introduced , and sieps were taken to promote the object . ' The sum of ten shillings was voted for the National Defence Fund , to be forwarded to the Treasurer , Feargus O'Connor , Esq . Messrs . Potts and Carter were appointed to act with the' committee for the support of Mr . Mason and family , during his incarceration . Mr . J . Potts was appointed to attend the district delegate meeting , to be held

      at Walsall . on Sunday next . Mr . Porter expressed Ilia willingness to confirm on oath , if required , his former statement in reference to the conversation that took place between himself and Bronterre O'Brien , and Feargus O'Connor . Several parties warmly expressed their approval of the manly conduct of George White , and an earnest hope that the people of Birmingham and the surrounding districts would use their utmost exertions to prevent him falling a sacrifice to the villany of authority . f The meeting then separated . All persons p aving money for the snpport of the family of Mr . MaSbn , to forward the same to Mr . Cook , of Dudley .

      THORNABY GREBH . —The friends at and near Stockton were again doomed to disappointment on Sunday , by the non-arrival of the speakers from Sanderland . The cause was the same as before ; the eca was running so high , that the Captain would aot venture to go to the Tees . There is no con reyanoe by f land on Sundays , and the distance is twentyseven miles , consequently , hovrever painful the disappointment Must have been , it was on the put of the Sunderland friends quite unavoidable . Mr . Chappie has promised the friends a visit on Saturday ( this day ) , and Sunoay ( to-morrow ) . Holbbc * . —Messrs . Wilson , Shan , Baraon , Oldroyd , and another attended here on Saturday evening last , and severally addressed the assembly ; each exhorted the friends to go . on perseveringly in their endeavours to obtain their political freedom . On Wbdiesdat evening , at the same place , a lecture was delivered by Mr . Charles Connor , late of Leeds .

      BEOTBEB& IK BONDAGE AN- * " IN HOPE , —We COnceive it to be on * duty to address , you at this critical jancture ia the affairs ot this elans-ridden couuiry . Since lost we metr in yonr behalf , many have been tha struggles in which-you have had to-engage iu your different localities . Though the conflict is trying , tho contest ia not doubtful , when a united people stand against the aggressions of class-constituted tyranny ; During these last few weeks the- monstrous power of Capital in the bauds of the middle classes has besn more specially

      arrayed against the hand ttmt gave it birth . After enjoying all the comforts cf life , rioting in [ usurita as-tha swine wallows in mira , the middle class , both Whig and Tory , have united all their power for the purpos&cf depriving the honest artfzin , not only of the commonest comforts , but even those necessaries which mate lifa desirable , or rather bearable . The position in which we are now placed by the scheming of our oppressore , calls for prudence as well as courage cn > our part , that the pit dug for our destruction may receive those who are a curse to our existence .

      Oar wiv 83 look at oar progress with ansiou ? eyes , and with feelings ef anguish , ask how long shall the oppressors triumph ? Oar children cry for bread , and When we meet to consult together , our eppresaors give hs sticks , bludgeons , steel , and lead , and call upon as to obey the law . " When pinched with waat all reverence they withdraw , For hungry multitudes obey no law . " So sung the Boman poet , and later experience has proved the truth of this sentence , and the only thing that keeps the present unjust laws of England in operation id trie enormous physical force powers of tbe ruling few and the disunion of the wor&ina classes .

      Under these circumstances it is most politic to Keep within the pale of the law , if possible , though ail Biuafc admit that this is very difficult , whilst what may ba quite legal in one is treason in another unfortunate wight . Tho fact is , there is one law for the rieh and another for the poor . Nothing can mor « clearly evince thfs than the conlnct-of the powers tbat be during the last . six months . Whilst the tools of the rich Aati-Cora Law League were poDriDgfortii their most inflammatory moonshine through the lan * l , advising the people to repeal the Corn Laws , even by the point of the sword ; to go in . thousands and tens of thousands , and demand bread ; to destroy the feread-taxera root and branch . Yes , these

      " Speakers turbulent and bold , Of venal eloquence that serves for gold , : And principles that might be boitght and sold , '' went forth and endeavoured to cause a popular outcry against these obnoxious laws . Yet no warxanti are issued tor speaking sedition , neither are they arrested for conspiracy . Even when the machinations of these men produced the late strike , so long as it was likely that it could be used for the accomplishing of the schemes of the Free Trade gentry , there was nothing but support talked of by these lovers of fair play . No sooner'do the brave and honest trades of Manchester declare for principle , and the people in every part respond to the call ; no sooner is the breaking of the bands of the prisoner sounded , than all the middle class

      unite : the press marks the victims ; the Government strong in arms , sends forth tbe harpies of the law , to seize—spies , to concoct and convict ; and thus endeavour to stifla free discussion and put down Democracy . It is the duty of every Chartist to buckle on his armour afresh , and renew the fight with vigour and energy , until signal success shall crown our efforts . Let us rally our force so as to convince even our oppressors that we are determined to achieve our liberty iu spite of every opposition , and that nothing short of political power to protect our labour will satisfy the working classes of this country . Tha pulpit and the press are teemingwith calumny and abuse against yon and those who have honestly dared to support the lights of labour

      against the heartless aggressions of capitalists . The bar is showering torrents of misrepresentations to induce the middle class juries to convict your best friends , whilst the Bench is waiting with anxiety to dungeoa and expatriate those who have posse&ssed so much of the milk of human kindness as to lead them to declare for right against might . Let not these things discourage you , but rather stimulate you to make an effort to bring this unrighteous system of class legislation to an end . Do all ytu can to shew your sympathy with those , who are victimized on your behalf . Spare all you can for the support of their families and thereby cheer the inmate of the gloomy cell , and encourage others to beard tyranny in its den . Spread the principles of Chartism , the principles of truth and justice

      in your localities . Let every Chartist endeavour to make one convert , confirm one wavering mind , ev ry week . We would ask , is this too much for seveu days ? look round , how many of your acquaintances are ignorant ot true politics , are careless about political power , ore halting between two opinions . Here is a field for the exercise of every diversity of talent . Let none say he is not qualified ; but to work at once , for whilst we admit the usefulness of lectures , and speeches , and resolutions , we confess that it is eaek man doing his own work that must carry the People ' s Charter . It is necessary to send lecturers to break up the fallow grounds . There is much of this

      yet , and one part we wonld call your especial attention to at this time . Ireland has many , very many , things to impede tbe spread of the pure principles of freedom ; and , though O Biggins and his brave band , assisted by tbe Northern Star , have done much to dispel the mist from the minds of cur brethren of the Sister We , yet there remains much to be done ; and , in our opinion , nothing is more calculated to produce that change so much desired than toeond a man of sterling honesty to open the eyes of the blind , and to remove the veil of prejudice from the minds of those who have been led to believe that tho working classes of England were the enemies of their brothers , the working classes of

      Ireland . If each locality belonging to the National Charter Association would subscribe only one penny p « r week , and sixpence as a first subscription to start tbe fand , we should have as much as would support one man , and something over . In this way tho principles of Chartism eould and would be made known where they have never been heard of , only through a distorted medium . Tbia can be done in a legal and constitutional Way , without endangering one , or placing a burden upon the shoulders of any person . We feel the delicacy of calling npon you for pecuniary support at this critical period of general distress , and when so many claims are made upon an impoverished people ; but this subject has been before the people of South Lancashire for two months , and they have confirmed the recommendation by commencing the fund , as they have a man they can confidently recommend for this work . " . ¦ ¦ ¦ . " ¦ ¦ ¦ .

      Mr . P . M . Brophy has consented to undertake thia object as soon as there ia sufficient in hand , to enable him to commence hU lectures in his native laud . Some localities may be so situated as to twable to devote a collection occasionally , after a- lectnre , to this great and glorious object ; and thus the flag of freedom may ware with every breeze that wafta across tbe green isle .. . v All subscriptions for ink object to be sent to Mr . James Cartledge , 34 , Lomas-sireefc , Bank-top , Manchester / ¦ ¦ - .

      And now , in conclusion , brother Chartists and friends , we trust that you- « U 1 ptesa on t * the mark ot your high calling , namely , the People ' s Charter , and thus rsstere peace and prosperity to yournpw distracted and much oppressedJlBfiySPA Pl ^ Jw .

      CHASTIST MEETING AT BERMONDSEY . On Monday night a meeting of the members of the BermoDdeey Charter Association took placa in the grounds of the Ship Tavern , Long-lane , Bermondsey , aod the numbers that were assembled were of the most respectable and peaeable order .

      Mr . Maynard was unanimously voted in the chair . He said , he was extremely sorry that Mr . Sewell , their most staunch advocate , was unable to attend , as it would have been his doty to take tie chair on this occasion : but he had seen him that aternoen , and he was most seriously indisposed . He had , however , the pleasure to announce that Mr . John Campbell had attended ; and to him he should leave the pleasing task of addressing the meeting . ( Cheers . ) air . Campbell then said , —I did not attend here to-night to address this meeting ; but I came down for a purpose , in which I call upon every man nor * around me to strain each nerre to assist . I czme down here for the purpose of getting out the

      numerous and respectable body of leather-finishers , and should I succeed in this , it will be the means of every other trade following ; and vrfcere shall we have greater strength ? where will there be a stronger body to contend with ? where vrill there be a class of men that will be better able to prevent class monpol ^ ts , both Whig and Tory , standing against our great and glorious cause ? It will not be like the enrolment of men among our numbers who are strangers , or men that are but slightly known to each other , and , therefore , each man , to a certain extent , is dubious of his fellow . Tbis will be like the enrolment of one large family . It will be the only effectual means of stopping the spy system . Among the trades , each man , wiil be constantly in conversation with his fellow ChartiEt . He will koow whttber he

      has any waTerings ; he will know whitcier any power h& 3 been tampering with , him ; he will know , from the terour of his conversation , what are his principles , and be enabled to say , This is not a man that will betray me—this is not a man that , if power inike 3 its appearance an . ong us will shrink , and IeaveiuB fellows in the lurch . " I am glad to find that we are enabled aUast . to be heard "trumpet-tongued " to the most remote corner that the press is in tbe "habit of reaching . We have a fjaper now , a free piper , not the vile hireling of any party , and it is our own faults if we do not support it ; it i 3 a thing

      we long have wanted ; and notwithstanding a viie combination that is now anVat to crush it , it trill stand , to make those , that vyonjd in iis infancy consign it to oblivion , blush for their meanness ; butit is rising duly—it is further circulated daily , causing its hireling coteoporaries to tremble . It is the mouth of the people , and the name of the "Evening Star , " Trill be in a very short time spoken of by every lisping babe as the great organ thai rescued them from the jaws of famine , and freed their parents from the oppression of their file persecutors . —( He then sat down amidst tremendons cheering . )

      After tbe business concerning the private affairs of the trade was concluded , a deputation of the delegates , eon sifitingof Mr . Ferguson , Mr . Walkingdame , Mr . Knight , and Mr . Rose , accompanied by Mr . Campbell , secretary of the Executive , and several otters , were introduced by the secretary of the leather finishers' trade to the members , by whom they were received with every mark of the most flittering approbation . Mr . Campbell then proceeded to show the members that a union in the trade would never sucoeed in keeping np the prices , and that it was only by haviDg ft Parliament of their own choosing that they would sain their ends . He then stated to them that the

      following sums had keen expended in supporting those that had struck for wages : —Among the GlaE . «« w eottoa spinner * , £ 47 fi 00 j Manchester cotton pinners , £ 370 , 000 ; and the wool-comber * , £ 409 , 010 Leeds mechanics , £ 187 , 100 ; and in every instance it had been a complete failure , not being of the least terrioe t 6 any on « . He then invited them to join the National Charter Association . The deputation thei withdrew ; wfeen , after about an hour's deep consideratio non the subject . the deputation were re-admitted , when the majority of the trade preteHt didared themselves willing t » join the Rational Charter Asaoeiatio * , and invited * 1 I the other trades thai had not already joined , to do so , and as speedily aa ttacble .
